Your HVAC has many parts that must work together to keep you comfortable. The best way to ensure they do is to have a professional check them regularly.
Keeping Your HVAC System Indoor Components Happy and Healthy
When it comes to keeping your home comfortable, your HVAC system is your best buddy. But to ensure it stays in good shape, you must follow this checklist of essential things to do.
Fresh Air Filters
Air filters are like the lungs of your HVAC system. They keep the air clean and help your system work better. Change them every three months, especially if you have furry pets.
Checking the Ducts
Ducts carry cool air all over your house. Sometimes, these tunnels can have leaks, especially in places like the attic or basement.
We can even clean your ducts to ensure the air you breathe is super clean.
A Clean Inside Unit
The outside of your indoor HVAC unit should be nice and clean. No dust or dirt allowed!
Safety First
Make sure nothing that can catch fire is near your HVAC unit. Safety is super important.
Keeping the Blower and Burner Clean
The blower wheel, motor, and burner assembly need to be clean for your HVAC system to work safely and competently.
Sometimes, they need a slight adjustment. That’s where the professionals come in!
Checking Electrical Stuff
Your HVAC unit has lots of electrical parts. We need to make sure they’re all appropriately connected and not loose.
The ignition system, which starts the cool air, also requires a checkup.
The Evaporator Coil
This is a crucial part of your HVAC system. We check the drain pan, clean the parts, and flush the drain lines to keep them clear.
This makes sure the air inside your home is clean and fresh.
Heating Elements
In Singapore, you might use heating sparingly, but when you do, it has to work. We ensure the heat exchanger and heating elements are in good shape so you can stay warm when needed.
The Flue System
Your HVAC system has something called a flue, just like a fireplace. We check it to make sure it’s all good and not corroded.
Staying Safe
Safety is super important. We check all the safety devices on your indoor unit to ensure they work correctly. If your HVAC system uses gas, we also look for any gas leaks because safety always comes first!
Taking Care of Your Outdoor HVAC Parts
Your outdoor HVAC parts are like the heart of your system. They work with the indoor parts to keep your home comfy. Let’s see how to make sure they stay in tip-top shape.
Checking the Fan, Motor, and Blades
These parts are essential to keep the cool air flowing. We give them a sound check, add some lubrication, and ensure the belt isn’t too loose.
This way, your HVAC system will be ready when you need it.
Keeping the Cabinet and Area Clean
The outdoor cabinet needs to be clean and free from damage. Sometimes, branches can fall and hurt it, or dirt and leaves can pile up.
It also needs some space to breathe, so make sure there’s about 3-4 feet of clearance around it, free from weeds or bushes.
Clearing the Coils
Coils can get clogged with twigs and leaves. Keeping them clean helps them last longer and work better.
The Control Box
It has circuit boards, wires, and other vital parts. We check it to make sure everything is working just right.
Keeping Cool with Refrigerant
We need the right amount of refrigerant to get that cool air – not too much or too little. This is super important in Singapore’s hot weather.
Checking Tubing and Compressor
A damaged compressor can be a big problem for your HVAC unit. We make sure it’s in good shape. We also check the voltage and amperage to ensure they’re right.
And we remember to inspect the tubing and wire connections. It’s all part of our twice-a-year check to keep your HVAC system running smoothly.
Keeping an Eye on Your HVAC While It Works
Now, look at what to check while your HVAC system is running.
Odd Smells, Carbon Monoxide, and Gas Pressure
If you smell something weird coming from your HVAC, that’s a sign that something’s wrong. But be careful; carbon monoxide is a silent danger you can’t smell.
We’ll ensure everything is safe and check the gas pressure in the lines. If anything seems off, a certified technician will take care of it.
Thermostat, Start-Up, and Shut-Off
Is your HVAC unit turning on and off when it should? How about your thermostat? We check these essential functions to make sure everything’s working smoothly.
If your thermostat is old, getting a new one might be a good idea. The new ones can make your system work even better.
Clearing the Vents
We ensure vents are not blocked so the air can flow freely.
To Sum It Up
Taking care of your HVAC system with this checklist helps you stay comfortable and safe all year round.
Plus, it can save you money in the long run. So, remember to schedule regular HVAC maintenance with the pros!
